I am back. And how.

New Year. A time when realistic and fact-based judgment calls are replaced by mindless optimism and enthusiasm. It's the time of year when strange things happen. Maybe it's been so long since our last game that we all actually convinced oursleves that we were good and we could win.

And so it happened.

Last night we beat The Lady Haig 8-4. And I won.

I was massive.

As I had lost in the previous game before Christmas I was due for a drop tip. However DJ Swan Master J and Titzy were both late so sneaked in to the third spot. Playing behind Tizz & Burkee is a great place to play. It is inconceivable that they will both lose. It is likely that that they will both win; and so it was. I played at 2-0, has three visits (one of which was a miscue) and won in ten minutes - leaving us 3-0 up and leading nicely into...

*Battle Of The Budg Update*

Mike played fourth, played well, and lost. Swanny played fifth, played OK, and won. 1-0 to swanny. Fifteen games played between them, one win.

5-1 up became 6-3 became 8-4 to give us only our second win of the season.

My personal record is played 10 won 3. I have to say though, in each of the games I lost I have been very unlucky. It's not true of course, but I had to say it.
